What to know

Derived from a watch commissioned for elite Greek naval personnel, the 2026 Amfivios adds a rugged titanium case and black dial.

The Ianos design draws on the practical principles of military field, pilot or naval watches: clear at-a-glance reading, restrained surface treatment and durable construction. This specific reference was presented in 2026; it is not a claim that the watch was issued to armed forces.

The stated specifications include case material Grade 2 titanium, functions Dive timing, small seconds, date, movement Mechanical automatic. These are manufacturer or contemporary launch specifications rather than measurements taken by Chronolume.

Design-wise, the interest lies in the balance between recognisable equipment heritage and a modern wristwatch. The resulting watch is useful to collectors who appreciate military-derived industrial design without requiring a replica of a historical service watch.
